Fly At Night
Chilliwack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Four men in a rock 'n roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
See the morning from the other side
And when you close your eyes
Sleep comes fast
When you fly the universe
Yeah, you need some rest
Ooh, we like the big wide spaces
Yeah, we like a sea of faces
Time is just a rubber band
Time is at our command
And when we look out
And see you there
You seem much closer
And you feel so near
Yeah, you feel so near
Well we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
And baby that's just what it's for
Yeah, we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more
Well we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
And baby that's just what it's for
We fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more
Four men in a rock 'n roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
See the morning from the other side

Line by Line Meaning
Four men in a rock 'n roll band
There are four band members who play rock 'n roll music
Fly at night in the morning we land
They travel by air during night time and reach their destination by morning
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
They fly at night until they feel content with their journey
See the morning from the other side
They witness the sunrise from a different perspective after travelling by night
And when you close your eyes
When asleep or resting
Sleep comes fast
Sleep is easy to attain when you're tired and relax your body
When you fly the universe
When you're travelling across space
Well, you need some rest
Even in the vastness of space, rest is necessary
Yeah, you need some rest
Repeating the need for rest
Ooh, we like the big wide spaces
They enjoy being in open and vast locations
Yeah, we like a sea of faces
They enjoy having a large crowd in front of them
Time is just a rubber band
Time can be stretched and manipulated like a rubber band
Time is at our command
They have control over their time and schedule
And when we look out
When they look towards the crowd or outside the aircraft
And see you there
When they see the audience or people around them
You seem much closer
The distance between them and the audience seems shorter
And you feel so near
They feel a personal connection with the people around them
Well we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
Travelling by night feels exhilarating and exciting
And baby that's just what it's for
That's the purpose of this type of travel
Yeah, we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
Flying at night gives a sense of satisfaction or confidence
It keeps you coming back for more
This type of travel is addictive or enjoyable
Four men in a rock 'n roll band

Fly at night in the morning we land
Repeating the main chorus
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
Repeating the main chorus
See the morning from the other side
Repeating the main chorus
